Abstract

Students in health professional studies are often faced with the daunting task of memorizing large volumes of information in a limited time. Gross anatomy is usually the first course students may take in their curriculum, and the volume and complexity of anatomical information students must memorize, including muscle names, become overwhelming. Here, we outline a teaching method and pedagogical application of self-retrieval in gross anatomy courses, where students were provided with a number system that served as goals and cues for easy retrieval of muscle names for different anatomical regions.
